#Android Model Binder A simple way to bind a value object/model to Android views.

##Features

• Views are "auto-populated" when the model is bound.
• The model is automatically updated when the bound view is changed.
• An OnModelUpdateListener interface can be implemented. It's modelUpdated(Object model, Field field) method is executed every time the bound model has been changed.

##Supported view types:

• CompoundButton (CheckBox, RadioButton, ToggleButton)
• TextView (EditText etc)
• SeekBar
• RatingBar

##Example usage

Lets start by creating a simple layout (note the id of the TextView):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <TextView 
    	android:text="TextView" 
    	android:id="@+id/textView1" 
    	android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
    	android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
    
</LinearLayout>

Then create a value object class where we bind the "text" field to the TextView in our layout via the "BindTo" annotation.

public class ExampleModel {

	// The BindTo annotation binds the field to a view id.	
	@BindTo(R.id.textView1)
    private String text;

	// Setters/getters will be used if they exists. 
    public String getText() {
        return text;
    }
    
    public void setText(final String text) {
        this.text = text;
    }
}

Then create an activity to execute the actual binding:

public class ExampleActivity extends Activity {

	// Create an instance of the ModelBinder class.
	private ModelBinder mModelBinder = new ModelBinder();

	@Override
	protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
		super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
	
		// Inflate our layout
		LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Service.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
		View rootView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.main, null);
	
		// Create an instance of our ExampleModel and set some text to it.
		ExampleModel model = new ExampleModel();
		model.setText("Example text");
		
		setContentView(rootView);
		
		try {
			// Bind the model to the view
			mModelBinder.bind(model, rootView);
			
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

The result in the simple example above will be that the TextView we've bound, will be populated with the text "Example text".
